About

Club Atlético Tigre, based in Victoria, Buenos Aires, currently compete in the Primera División and trace their foundation to 3 August 1902, the year 1902 that set the club on a century-long climb. Home fixtures are staged at the Estadio José Dellagiovanna, and Walkouts presents signed and retail shirts that highlight Tigre’s distinctive blue and red colours and fan culture.

Tigre’s modern profile includes a surprise run to the top tiers and a first major cup triumph in the 2019 Copa de la Superliga, alongside their 2021 promotion back to Primera. The club is often cited in statistics and rankings and appears in global lists such as the IFFHS ranking, which situates Tigre among international peers, a useful context for collectors looking at relative club prominence.

The José Dellagiovanna, with room for 26,282 supporters, produces an atmosphere that drives demand for match and retail issues alike. Local rivalries such as the Clásico de la Zona Norte against Platense add provenance to derby-worn shirts and make region-specific releases highly sought after by specialists who prize documented match provenance and known player appearances.

On the pitch Tigre’s colours and kit runs have moments that matter to collectors: the surprise 2008 Apertura runners-up campaign, the 2012 Clausura push and the 2019 cup-winning sequence all produced distinctive match and retail sets. Collectors target these seasons because they combine on-field narratives with limited production runs or commemorative crests, and because supplier eras from Kappa to Joma and adidas mark visible design changes.

Anniversary issues are a defined niche, notably the 2002 Centenario shirt released to mark the club’s 100th year, which used a special 1902-2002 crest. Such releases are chased for crest variants and early retail numbering, and they often appear with provenance notes in club shops and official catalogues, making them core pieces for Tigre collectors.

The club’s away sets also carry weight: the white palettes used in the 2012 and 2019 away programmes are an identifiable motif and help explain demand for a framed white away shirt linked to cup runs and decisive away results. Fans seek both match-issued pieces and controlled retail signatures, and exact photo verification of a signing or appearance significantly increases a shirt’s desirability.

Signed retail shirts remain central to many collections because they bridge fan access and verified signatures; early runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases are all documented by sellers and often come with supporting evidence such as images or exact photo proof. For those tracing Tigre’s recent highlights, the 2008 runners-up season and the 2019 Copa de la Superliga final provide clear points of interest, and you can find selected signed and retail pieces at Walkouts.

Honours

Club Atletico Tigre’s modern trophy cabinet is headlined by the club’s first top-flight title, the 2019 Copa de la Superliga, secured in a decisive final that capped a historic campaign. That milestone was followed by the Primera Nacional championship, a triumph that delivered promotion back to the Primera Division and underlined the team’s resilience. Earlier high points included outstanding league runs as runners-up in the 2008 Apertura and 2012 Clausura, seasons that established Tigre as a force capable of challenging at the sharp end of Argentina’s top tier. While continental honours are not listed here, Tigre’s presence in major domestic finals and its ability to rebound with a national second-tier title reflect a competitive trajectory respected across the country. On the global benchmark, the club features in the IFFHS global club ranking at 256, a concise indicator of sustained relevance. Together, these achievements narrate a path from near-misses to confirmed silverware.
